Israel linked to 2,700 assassination operations in 70 years

Armed drones, poisoned toothpaste, exploding Qurans and cellphones, and spare tires with remote control bombs. Killing enemy scientists and outing the secret lovers, male and female, of Islamic holy men.

A newly released book details these techniques and claims that Israel has carried out at least 2,700 assassinations in its 70 years of its modern day existence.

Although many attempts failed, such as toilet paper that bursts into flames when used [Middle Eastern people wash after they go, they don't use paper products for that purpose] the number of successes add up to far more than any other Western country, Ronen Bergman's book says.

Bergman, the intelligence correspondent for Yediot Aharonot newspaper, convinced agents from Mossad, Shin Bet and the military to tell their stories and the result is an expose of Israel's sponsored assassinations of those who were a danger to the Jewish State.

The book titled "Rise and Kill First," resulted from a thousand interviews and thousands of documents which resulted in over 600 pages. It makes the case that war was avoided by assassinating six Iranian nuclear scientists, for example, rather than launching a full-scale military attack.

It also makes a powerful case that Israel used radiation poisoning to dispose of Yasser Arafat, the longtime Palestinian anti-Semite who masterminded the attack on the Israeli soccer team at the 1972 summer Olympics, in Munich, Germany.

Eleven Israelis were taken hostage and eventually murdered, along with a German policeman. The group responsible, Black September, demanded that 234 prisoners jailed in Israel, and the German-held founders of the Red Army Faction be released.

Bergman said that Arafat's death in 2004 fit a pattern and had support, but he does not flatly assert what happened and added that Israeli military censorship prevents him from revealing what he knows, if indeed he knows something about the death of the scumcrumpet.

The title of the book comes from the Jewish Talmud admonition: "If someone comes to kill you, rise up and kill him first." Bergman said that of those he interviewed for the book, a majority cited that passage as justification for their work.

A military lawyer also said that such operations are a legitimate acts of war.

And let's face it, Israel likely prevented an all-out blood bath with their surrounding enemies by killing those who worked hard to kill them.
